Early Autumn 6,208 A.S.
Marula and I walked through the massive forest of Du Weldenvarden in search of Vissera. She said she had something urgent to tell me. She sounded worried in the letter she sent; I don't know why when she could of used magic.
Elves looked at us as we walked through their massive forest. I don't know why I always felt unnerved as they looked at me. It might have been their cat like appearance or that they had never seen a human before since humans weren't native to Alagaesia, yet; the only humans here were the ones that the remaining forty Riders had saved. Only dwarves, dragons, elves, Urgals, and the elusive Werecats.
I even spotted a few RainWings hanging out in the trees and playing a game of catch with fruit that the little elves were tossing to them. Every time a fruit splatted against a RainWing's face, they broke out in their melodic laughters. The RainWings didn't seem mad. They were a pretty chill tribe even though they had the most dangerous weapon in all of Pyrrhia and Pantala. They would laugh too, making the little elf children laugh even harder.
My mind wandered to my Arcaena: Domia abr Wydra. After seven years of hard work, I had finished the Grey Folk, Werecat, and Alagaesia Dragon Riders sections completely. Only the elf, dwarf, and Urgal sections remained. In another few years, maybe longer, hopefully I would be done with Domia abr Wydra.
I arrived at Tialdari Hall, the place where the royal family and lords and ladies and other important elves stayed.
Saying the entry words in the ancient language, the language of the elves, the doors between the two massive trees swung open.
Marula and I walked into the massive hall.
Marula starred flabbergasted at the hall. I knew that she must be in heaven by the beauty of the plants. Any LeafWing would be by the way the elves sung trees into houses and other brilliant and amazing structures.
Vissera was Queen Tarmunora's ambassador and that was why Viserra had accompanied Marula and I around Alagaesia.
Marula and I walked through the large tree halls of the massive and marvelous structure, searching for the room Vissera stayed in.
"Baobab." I heard someone hiss to me.
I turned to find Viserra's dark eyes on me.
Viserra gestured to me to follow her and I did.
I followed behind her and into her living quarters.
The room was quite spacious and adorned with exquisite flowers that looked like gems. They reminded me of the scales on the Beetle-Night hybrids, descendants of Clearsight and her BeetleWing husbands.
"Baobab—I have something to tell you. You might want to sit down for this." She told me.
I knew by the anxiety on her face that she was really worried.
"What is it?" I asked her.
She sat down besides me and grabbed my hand and pressed it against her stomach.
"Do you feel that?" She asked me.
I didn't feel anything at first but then I felt a kick.
I looked at her with shock.
She gave me a small smile that she tried to make look happy but it wasn't.
"Hey, it will be okay. We'll get through this. I promise." I said to her, grasping her hands in mine. I wanted to convey my love to her through that single touch of our hands.
"I-I know. It's just—," she stopped, pulling her hands away and wrapping them around her stomach and turning away from me.
"Just what?" I asked her, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder.
She turned back to me. "I'm just worried how the rest of my kind will react to having one not like the rest of them among them. I fear that they must discriminate against our child. I won't have our child cast out and looked down upon because they are different and something that no one in Alagaesia has ever seen."
"Hey, they might look like you and they'll be completely fine." I told her, hoping to all the ancient gods and goddesses my people of Pantala believed in that our child would look exactly like Viserra.
"Thank you, Baobab. I hope you are right." She told me.
I noticed that Marula had stayed by the door while we had talked and only now did she come over.
Marula touched Viserra on her brow, and said mentally to them both, "May luck and happiness be with you both always and forever as long as you both shall live. And that your child lives a long and fruitful, happy life."
"Thank you, Welden-Skulblaka." Viserra told Marula.
"I like that. Forest Dragon." Marula told Viserra.
"You are welcome."
While they were discussing, I had been thinking of adorable names for our child. I would share them with Viserra later tonight. But I think I found one that I liked.
Late Winter 6,209 A.S.
I hated waiting with Marula outside the treehouse were Vissera was giving birth to their child.
I had shared the name I thought was beautiful for our child. She had loved it just as much as I did. She even suggested one if it was a girl. It was equally beautiful.
Then the door to the treehouse opened. "You May come in, Shur'tugal."
I walked up the steep stairs of the elves and into the treehouse.
Viserra laid in a bed holding a baby in her arms.
I walked up to her tentatively, afraid that the baby would look too much human and not enough elf.
When I laid eyes on the baby, I was filled with joy. The baby looked more elf than human. The baby would be far fairer than any human but more rugged than any elf. But hopefully not enough to make the other elves discriminate against the child.
"Do you want to hold him?" Viserra asked me.
"Sure." I said, taking the swaddled baby from her arms.
The baby's eyes weren't open but his tiny hands reached for my face.
"Hello there, Raegel."
P.S. The gods and goddesses I mention are just really old to the Niloans and are rarely worshiped anymore in the current time period(8,000 A.S.)
Hope you all are enjoying.
